The member of K-pop supergroup BTS signaled his ambitions as an artiste in his own right
CONCERT J-HOPE TOUR HOPE ON THE STAGE IN SINGAPORE Singapore Indoor Stadium April 26 J-Hope is the first member of K-pop supergroup BTS to stage a concert after fulfilling his military-service commitments. And he wants you to know: He is a rock star.
He held two solo concerts at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on April 26 and 27. His bandmate Suga was the first to embark on a solo stadium tour, in 2023.
When this reviewer saw Suga at the same venue in 2023, he was about to head off for mandatory military service.
His emotionally charged show felt like someone pouring his heart out before he ran out of time.
Discharged from military service in October 2024, J-Hope, whose real name is Jung Ho-seok, knows he has time. And the 31-year-old is using it to tell fans who he is, both as a soloist and as part of the most successful K-pop group of all time.
